Answer to Question 1

B
Working though in a psychoanalytic group is defined as the process of taking new insights and using them to make lasting intrapersonal change. A psychoanalytic approach would focus on the client's growth through the uncovering of the client's unconscious self and awareness of past experiences. These discoveries provide insight into current patterns and difficulties.

Answer to Question 2

D
According to Summers' (1992) book Caregiver, Caretaker, nurses gravitate to areas that somehow feel comfortable. Often these are the environments individuals have endured and experienced during their own childhood.
